Sorry but no.

Monsters still go back and forth from AOE's like headless chickens, it does need some tweaking. (and they still get confused sometimes and stand inside the AOE not attacking, mainly when solo though)

And orion and cynn do need to be tweaked, its all well and good saying use snares, but we dont all have them.

And im sure 1 shot AOE's should not cause them to run.

(And really orion should have had firestorm taken from him ages ago, casting it on dead enemies, wow.)

I dont PVP but these changes make sense, i am dissapointed though by there unwilliness to fix the above.

one shot AoEs do NOT cause monsters to run. the AI has been fixed since the 11-10 update. nuking is still a viable option, it only takes brains to do it well now.

and anyway - this thread is about the 11-17 update. if you want to talk about the 11-10 update - see that thread.

Vin Diesel owns. I mean, the guy can bench my car and plays Dungeons & Dragons.

However, no Tormentor's 15k. T_T

I mean why even bother selling it at the 15K vendor? Seriosuly 15K Tormentors, I expect you in the next update!!!

As for all the PvP stuff, well due to the fact my guild isnt all together organised I've not got further than the third round in Tombs. So these updates make little difference to me, however I'm sure they will please the multitude of hardcore PvP player out there.

Looks like another step in the right direction. Solid update, seems ok.
As for 15k tormentors, I agree that you guys have to wait a long time for it. Can't help but wondering: after the 15k tormentors, the allready implemented capetoggle, what will be the next thing that will be a recurring topic?

Time will tell.

Anyways the ingame music remains broken, how much longer is A.net expecting us to hear the same 4 tracks all over the place? Over and over again...

o.0
I never would have dreamed people still have music turned on. I turned it off after one week of playing... I usually have my radio turned on for music.
Maybe that is also an idea for you, or do you really prefer in-game music?

I payed for the extra soundtracks. Problem is it's cost me £35 instead of £6. Paypal took the money from the wrong source and my bank charged me for going over my limit as that account couldn't handle the charge x.x P{aypal are refusing to take responsibility.

So while they are nice, I'm finding hard to apreciate.

But yes, towns need fixing.

For those wanting the Tormentor 15k Armour, and being disappointed it wasnt included in this update, its out very soon according to Gaile Gray

http://forums.gwonline.net/showthrea...&page=20&pp=10

"A certain verbose amphibian announced just a few days ago that Tormentors Armor is coming very soon. And he meant very soon. Neither he nor I could make you promises, but as I joked in another thread, I bet it won't take all your fingers and toes to count these days. "

...so in other words around 20 days tops!

BTW, anyone else feel the movie-score-type music you could download for GW was dull? I'm glad I only got the free ones, and didn't plunk out the cash to get the full GW music set.

Thank god, I'll be glad once it done since there are people who just go on and on and on about that blasted 15K armor. Bet they still won't be happy once its done as well.

Not waiting on it personally, but after 5 months, I expect it to be the best damn looking armour ever.

Well everyone knows that apparetnly Everything needs to get nerved, the second someone wins with something a exceptional amount of times the Favor swings, people complain bla bla it needs neverd. And why do you come on this forum bragging a team beat another, imo thats a bit childish, you know when i was surfing round a forum. i didnt even notice at first but there was a complete set of screen shots of some guy bragging about beating me. There is just so many noobs in tombs now, there is no easy way to get fame other then iway. A lot will remember back in the Dual Smite days. that was my gateway to rank 6... i use ranger spike. and that's my gateway to rank 11, which iv almost got (12517 fame). the basics of it are tho, if something wins it needs to get nerved

I thought the orchestral score was great and wish more games had it as it FITs the mood of the game well. It's just the towns need fixing as shiverpeaks music in ascalon doesn't fit.

I love soundtracks, basically because it has more of a purpose, and especially orchestral-typed soundtracks.

What should someone say to this, after the Zillionth time I've seen similar complaining posts that have no real basis to defend why something should or should not be nerfed (and this update didn't nerf. it fixed a bug)?

I love the music, have all the music pack (less the special edition exculsive one) and agree with you, I want more control over direct sound ><

I found that able to starting playing a podcast (this week in tech - twit espcially) with guildwars running.

Yes, cuz PvE skills need to be nerfed.

PvE updates take longer to make than bug fixes. I.E. fixing bugs vs. Sorrows Furnace

Or would you rather all PvP bugs/glitches/exploits be kept until a new PvE area rolls out? Even though they know what the problem is, and know how to fix it, they just wish to "balance" the number of updates for both play types
